Description:

Following the recent government announcement regarding the tier system, the National Forest is now placed in Tier 3 (Very High Alert), this means that we must adhere to the local restrictions outlined in Tier 3.The government is allowing unlimited outdoor exercise, and you may meet with a group of up to six people in outdoor public places. These include, parks, forests and countryside accessible to the public, whilst respecting two metre social distancing. If you live locally or a short distance away, we hope everyone can continue to enjoy walking and cycling through our woodlands and open spaces, however we must all take responsibility to ensure the National Forest remains safe for everyone to use. Please maintain social distancing and do not go on to sites if they are too busy and social distancing is difficult. This is essential to stop the spread of coronavirus. Please also continue to observe social distancing advice and to take care of the Forest by following the Countryside Code at all times. For the latest information with regards to COVID-19 please see Gov.uk and the NHS guide.25 years ago, large swathes of the Midlands landscape had been left scarred by centuries of coal mining and other heavy industry. But a passionate group of people had a vision: a forest. The first forest to be created at scale in England for over 1000 years, it transformed and literally turned the landscape from black to green. But the story doesn't stop here. This is Our National Forest. It belongs to us all. The benefits must be felt by you and everyone to be truly sustainable. Here is a map of the United Kingdom indicating on it, the location of The National Forest, just north west of Birmingham. The National Forest is right in the heart of the country, embracing 200 square miles of the Midlands. It spans across parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire and aims to link the two ancient Forests of Charnwood and Needwood. With a history of coalmining and heavy industry, the landscape is now that of rolling farmland, ancient forests and new planted woodlands. Its main towns and villages include Burton upon Trent (famous for its brewing), Coalville and Swadlincote (formerly associated with the clay and coal mining industries) and the historic town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. We're creating a Forest for everyone. Planting trees, connecting pathways and making our towns greener, so that everyone can experience the benefits of our Forest. By becoming a regular supporter of the National Forest, you become part of its story. Three charities have partnered together to create the National Forest Trek®, a new fundraising challenge event building hope for the future by transforming lives and creating a forest for everyone to enjoy.
